Frequently Asked Questions
Earthing, also called grounding, involves connecting to the natural electrical charge of the earth to bring balance to the body and improve health.
Some people notice immediate benefits, while others need several weeks of consistent practice to see results. We are not all the same and therefore not everyone will respond to therapy in the same way.
Connect your grounding product to a grounded outlet or grounding rod and ensure bare skin contacts the product for optimal benefits.
Start with 20-30 minutes a day and build up to several hours. Even a few minutes can provide benefits such as relaxation and mild stress reduction. For significant health benefits, it is recommended to gradually increase your grounding time . Work up to the point where you can comfortably sleep for 8+ hours. Consistency is key for long-lasting results.
You can use an open circuit tester to check the grounding of your home. This small device plugs into an electrical outlet and will indicate if the wiring is properly grounded. Look for a green light, which usually indicates a good ground. If the tester indicates a problem, contact a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance.
Proper maintenance of grounding products ensures their durability and effectiveness. Here is how to properly maintain grounding mats and sheets:
Grounding mats:
- Cleaning: Wipe the mat regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as these may damage the surface and reduce conductivity.
- Maintenance: Check the mat regularly for wear or damage. If you notice tears or other problems, consider replacing it to ensure optimal functionality.
Grounding sheets:
Your grounding sheets contain silver thread, which is naturally antibacterial and odor-resistant. This means they need to be washed less often than regular sheets. However, it is important to keep them clean of sweat and natural skin oils to maintain their conductivity.
- Washing instructions: Hand wash is preferred, but you can also use the washing machine on a delicate cycle. Use cold water only.
- Drying method: Air dry the sheets; do not use a tumble dryer.
- Skin Care: Wait at least one hour after applying lotions or skin oils before touching the sheets. These products can react with the silver thread and cause oxidation, which will reduce the effectiveness of the sheets.
Actions to avoid:
- Do not use bleach, fabric softener or detergents containing whitening agents.
- Avoid detergents that contain oils, such as lavender or coconut oil.
- Do not iron the sheets.
- Do not use a tumble dryer.
Please note: Failure to follow these guidelines may damage the silver wire and reduce the effectiveness of the sheets or even eliminate their conductivity. Following these care instructions will help maintain the conductive properties of your grounding sheets and extend their health benefits.
No, grounding products are designed with safety mechanisms, such as a built -in Ohm resistor , which limits the current and protects the user. However, it is important that the products are properly connected to a properly grounded outlet. If you have any doubts about your electrical installation, consult a professional.
Yes, grounding is good for animals , including dogs and cats. It helps reduce inflammation, supports healing, and promotes relaxation, just like it does for humans. Many pets naturally seek grounding by laying on the grass or ground. Many customers have noticed that their pets are naturally drawn to grounding sheets and other products. They seem to sense something healing and familiar, even if they can’t express it verbally. Their actions and reactions are evidence of the benefits they are experiencing.
Health Benefits
Some studies suggest that grounding can reduce stress and improve mood, potentially helping with anxiety and depression.
Yes, grounding reduces inflammation and improves blood circulation, which can relieve chronic back pain and stiffness.
Although most people experience benefits from grounding, the effects can vary. Some people feel no effects at all. If the therapy is not working, it may be because it is not being applied consistently, an inappropriate surface is being used, or underlying health conditions require additional attention. Consistency and proper technique are essential for success.
Some athletes report improved recovery and less muscle soreness from grounding, which may indirectly improve performance.
Research shows that grounding can reduce blood viscosity, which may benefit cardiovascular health.
Preliminary research suggests that grounding may reduce inflammation, which may be beneficial for autoimmune diseases, but more studies are needed.
Some people report increased energy levels through regular grounding, which can help with chronic fatigue.
By reducing inflammation and stress, grounding can support immune function.
Grounding can help balance cortisol levels, which contributes to hormonal balance.
Some people report fewer migraines with regular grounding, possibly due to reduced inflammation and stress.
Indirectly, by improving sleep and reducing stress, grounding may support weight management.
Yes, grounding can be beneficial during pregnancy as it can reduce stress, improve sleep, and reduce swelling through improved circulation. It is generally safe, but it is important to consult your doctor, especially if you have any medical complications or are taking medications. With the right precautions, grounding can be a natural support for your well-being during pregnancy.
Grounding helps calm the nervous system, reduce stress and promote mental clarity.
How electricity works?
Outdoor grounding during a thunderstorm is not recommended. Direct contact with the earth increases the risk of electrical shock from lightning. However, indoor grounding products are specifically designed with safety in mind.
These products contain an Ohm resistor , which acts as a safety feature by limiting the current in case of unexpected surges. This ensures that indoor grounding remains safe and effective, even during thunderstorms. Rest assured, nothing can happen if you use indoor grounding products correctly! 😊
Yes, in some cases an open circuit tester may show the correct lights indicating a good ground, but the ground may still be faulty. This can happen if the ground wire is not properly connected or not actually connected to the ground. For an accurate check it is recommended to use a multimeter or consult an electrician. A good ground is essential for safety and effective grounding.
Grounding can help neutralize free radicals generated by EMF, offering potential health benefits.
Natural grounding
Yes, grounding can be done in different ways, depending on your connection to the earth. Touching a tree or standing barefoot near a tree can work, as trees are natural conductors of the earth’s energy. The same goes for holding a stone , but only if the stone is in direct contact with the earth and is made of a conductive material, such as certain minerals. Swimming in natural bodies of water such as lakes, rivers or the ocean is also an effective form of grounding, as the water is a conductor of the earth’s energy. Standing on stones can provide grounding if the stones are bare and directly connected to the earth.
Start with simple practices like walking barefoot on grass, sand or soil for 20-30 minutes a day, or using a grounding mat indoors. Sit barefoot on your balcony, hold a grounding cord or meditate on a grounding mat to connect to the earth’s energy.
Yes, walking barefoot on grass is an effective way to ground because grass is conductive and connects you to the earth. If the concrete is uncoated and directly connected to the earth, walking on concrete counts as grounding. Coated or painted concrete is less conductive.
Yes, metal surfaces connected to the earth can facilitate grounding.
Yes, using grounding products indoors or finding natural surfaces such as parks can make grounding possible in cities.
Yes, studies suggest that grounding can reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and lower stress. Many people report benefits, and scientific studies show measurable physiological effects.
Yes, grounding is supported by emerging scientific studies examining its effects on inflammation, sleep, and stress reduction.
True. Grounding connects your body to the natural electrical charge of the earth, a process that is inherently natural.
Grounding is generally safe, but improper use of grounding products or walking outdoors on unsafe surfaces may pose minor risks, such as irritation or injury.
Other questions
Yes, grounding sheets and mats designed for beds can provide a grounding effect while you sleep.
Grounding sheets and sizes help improve sleep by balancing cortisol levels, reducing stress, and promoting relaxation during the night.
People with certain medical devices, such as pacemakers, should consult a physician before grounding.
Children can ground themselves safely and it can contribute to better sleep and general well-being, just like adults.
Grounding calms the nervous system, lowers stress hormones and improves mental clarity, contributing to better emotional balance.
Grounding mats connect to the earth via a grounded outlet or ground rod, allowing electrons to flow into your body and neutralize free radicals. They are perfect for times when outdoor grounding is not an option.
Yes, you can ground yourself while sitting using grounding products. Place a grounding mat on the floor under your bare feet or on a chair that you can sit on. Make sure your skin is in direct contact with the mat for optimal conductivity. You can also use grounding pads on your lap or back while sitting. This allows you to ground yourself during activities such as working, reading, or relaxing.
Grounding works best when your skin is in direct contact with a conductive surface. Socks, especially those made of insulating materials such as polyester or nylon, block conductivity and prevent grounding.
Cotton, however, has limited conductivity. Thin, damp cotton socks may provide some grounding.
- For grounding mats: It is best to place your bare feet on the mat for maximum benefits.
- For grounding sheets: Direct skin contact is ideal, but thin cotton pajamas or sheets can still provide some grounding.
Yes, placing grounding products directly on the painful area can increase the benefits. For example:
- For back pain, you can place a grounding pad against your back while sitting on a chair.
- For joint pain in the knees or hands, you can place a grounding mat or pad on the affected area.
Always ensure that the grounding product is connected correctly and used according to the instructions.
